Our March School Holidays

The school holiday is just over our kids are back to school.  So what did you do for your one week school holidays.

Daddy took a couple of days off and we went to watch "The Lorax" (I & R first movie outing).  For a start we were a bit worried that they might want to go out of the theater since is dark and cold inside but they did just fine!  Beside going to the movies we did lots of art and crafts and went to several fun playground and the kids enjoyed themselve.

Isaac loves art and craft and requested us to bring him to this place @ Novena to do some clay modelling.  We did clay modelling for his 3rd birthday in January and his little guest went home with cute little panda!

Fun time at the children playground in Causeway Point Woodlands.

My Little Sweetie Birthday!

 

Buffet from Delihub

Jelly from Mrs Chan

Cake from Flor Patisserie

We celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday last weekend.  We chose the Strawberry shortcake theme for her birthday and I recycled her brother's 1st birthday pinata into a strawberry theme pinata coz it is really difficult to find strawberry shortcake party ware here and I order a yummy strawberry shortcake cake from a Flor Patisserie - the cake is really soft and yummy with lots of strawberry.  We also order our food from Delihub and lots of yummy satay from Kwong Satay.

We also got the children to make little strawberry shortcake photo frames to bring home.

Overall the party was good and we all had a good time eating and chatting.

Thank you everyone who came for her birthday!
